I like it. It puts some sporty-ness back into the WRX, which was lost after '07. I think they needed to do this. All WRX's shared the body with the STi's... and let's face it, it is a WRX before it is an STi.... The STi's were mainly hopped up WRX's with minor body mods, and a bigger motor creating more power (unless its JDM, then its a bigger turbo and higher reving engine), matted to a 6 speed. That changed in 08 when the STi became something of it's own, following the path of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. I think Subaru made the right choice in making this car. Now the WRX looks like it can be taken to the track, and now compete with the handling of the praised Mazdaspeed3, being that it does have a wider stance now.
